'See there, Dolly, said Philip, in a warning voice, 'that is the way you'll be served if you do not mend your ways. 'But I thought, said Annora gravely, 'that people were married once for all, and it could not be undone. 'So said Aunt Cecily, but my Lord was proving to her out of all law that a contract between such a couple of babes went for nought, said Berenger.
It cannot be far off now! I knew I should weep all the way if I set out with my mother to meet her son; and Cecile was afraid both of the disappointment if she did not meet her husband, and of his being displeased if he should come. So she only took with her Annora and M. de Solivet's two daughters, Gabrielle and Petronille, who were fetched from the Convent of the Visitation.
'I have only to say, observed Annora, 'that if she were to do such a thing I should never speak to her again. Whereupon my mother severely reproved my sister, declaring that it was all her fault, and that she had gone beyond all bounds when left to herself, and would be a disgrace to the family.
Eustace never attempted argument with her, but went his own way; and when Annora broke out with something about Mr. Hyde and other lawyers, such as Harry Merrycourt, being company for any one in London, she was instantly silenced or presuming to argue with her elders. I had a happy morning with Mesdames de Rambouillet and De Montausier, who showed the perfect union of mother and daughter.
'In common gratitude he is bound to do so, said Annora. For not only had Colonel Merrycourt preserved our brother's life after Naseby, but he had found a plea of service to the King which availed at the trial that followed at Westminster.
"Run on, Annora, and say to the Grey Lady that I will be at her cell in less than an hour. Thy feet are swifter than mine." Annora ran blithely forward. Guy of Ashridge pursued his weary road, for he was manifestly very weary. At length he rather suddenly halted, and sat down on a bank where primroses grew by the way-side. "I can go no further without resting," said he.
'No, no, not like you, may boy, said Sir Marmaduke, sufficiently aware of Berenger's belief to be glad to keep it up, and yet obliged to walk to the window to hide his diversion at the notion of his little girls catching the contagion of sword-gashes and bullet-wounds. Dame Annora prattled on, 'But they have sent you their Christmas gifts by me.
I was not uneasy for my mother, who was with the Queen; but the servants brought reports that the canaille had risen, and that the streets were in wild confusion. We could see nothing, and only heard wild shouts from time to time. What could have become of Eustace and Annora?
'Yes, said Annora, 'I do believe it is often the only meal worth the name that they get in a week, unless my brother invites them to supper.
'Ah, there spoke thy loyal heart, and a Frenchman should have the same spirit towards his King. 'Yes, broke out Annora; 'that is what you are all trying to force on your children, setting up an idol to fall down and crush yourselves! For shame, Walwyn, that you, an Englishman, should preach such a doctrine to the poor child!
